Whether you are a climate change cynic or devotee, you are likely to possess a love of the mountains and all things snow. With trends of rising average temperatures and declining snowfall, the evidence is not easy to dismiss and we all know we should do our bit… the question is how; by taking a coach to go on your next ski holiday!
Statistics show that emissions from coach travel is only 10% of that emitted by an airplane, which means you can take 10 coach weekends for every 1 flight weekend for the same carbon footprint!! Coaches really do go greener!
